SUMMARY In 2 cases of fracture of the capitellum of the humerus with avascular fragment the writer has made a cast of the capitellar fragment and manufactured a chrom-cobolt-molybdenum prosthesis, which has then been inserted in the joint. The result has been a painless, stable joint with a range of movement of 155°-35° and 150°-60° respectively. A third case is mentioned, which was treated with open reduction of the fracture where examination 20 months after the operation revealed a partial necrosis of the capitellar fragment; the functional result however was good.Downloads
